Nefertiti was referred to by her subjects as "Beautiful of Face", "Great of Love", and "Mistress of Happiness". Some think her beauty shown here could have been over exaggerated, but I would like to disagree. I would like to think there is truth to her subjects statements. In my own opinion I feel like back then they did not have airbrushed magazine models to compair themselves to, yes I believe they could still compair beauty between each other, but I do not think they would have embellished her, I would like to believe she was truly that stunning in real life. Artistically I enjoy the warm colors and how they tie the beading colors to the headdress. She does look like she may be wearing some form of make up and I think that it is pretty interesting that I can get that feeling from a sculpture.
